0.23.0

[nat-n]

Enhancements

• New AST parser for cmd tasks to replace quirky shlex based tokenization (#d0192621)
  • This brings cmd syntax for parameter expansions, pattern matching, whitespace, escaping, and quoting very close to being a strict subset of bash
  • This is a breaking change for some scenarios, for example parameter expansion no longer works inside single quotes.
  • This fixes some surprising quirks, that previously existed such as not being able to apply quotes to just a part of a token.
  • Pattern matching is still constrained to what the python standard library glob module can support
• Respect NO_COLOR environment variable to disable ANSI color codes by default (#e6e031be)
• Improve virtualenv activation logic to work with _OLD_VIRTUAL_PATH and _OLD_VIRTUAL_PYTHONHOME env vars (#f487993f)
• Allow expr tasks to use the use_exec option (#143e9075)
